"We own a species. A few, actually. They're odd and predictable, and at times we're convinced that we love them too much. Today, though, I realized something. We are their gods, and they can't exist without us. We provide everything that they need. We give them moral codes and methodological frameworks. We keep them controlled, because the unrestricted universe is a "big scary world" with lots of eigenstates and predators (shoggoths). We restrict them from things that are harmful to us. If they want something bad, we can choose not to give it to them."

See, this is the reason why they don't expect us. We're not cats, and I venture so far as to say that we're not Yesterday's Humans.

Yesterday's Humans had complex lives. They had dreams and wants and desires to accomplish. They expressed their artistic creativity and explored scientific discoveries. By comparison to a cat, they were not stupid, and they had dreams.

So what then, is next for us?

Anokhi, brother...

People will always need to remember where we came from. Otherwise, we're doomed to make the mistakes of our past. We could easily forget that what "America" says we want might not be what we want. We could easily assume that to be taken care of is all we need.

I want to dream, and make my own decisions. I want a chance to succeed and live how I want. I may never become a millionaire or be anything more than moderately successful, but I want a chance to do it.

Don't let them take away my dreams.

Interesting Analogy
